Doors and Windows Ramble

Image by phoenixrisesagain

Doors and windows; windows and doors;

More exciting to look at than ceilings and floors.

Doors and windows; windows and doors;

Both often make excellent metaphors.

Doors and windows; windows and doors;

Amazingly good at drowning out snores.

Doors and windows; windows and doors;

Places known to gather mold spores.

Doors and windows; windows and doors;

Symbols of our "keeping up with the Jones" scores. 

Doors and windows; windows and doors;

My studies taught me very little about yours.

This is my rhyming response to
Smiley Sociology Study #10.
It was inconclusive, so I made you
a silly random rhyme again.

Rubber-Band Regret

These rhymes were written for Mad-Kane's Limerick Off.

Click to read more funny entries.  I promise you won't scoff.

VERSION #1:

A guy who was frequently prone

to gain cash that others had blown

spent a small fortune on

rubber-bands, with a yawn.

"I'd invested if only I'd known."

VERSION #2:
   

A guy who was frequently prone

to gain cash that others had blown

spent a small fortune on

rubber-bands, with a yawn.

"Esto me hace un papelón?"

(Non-Rhyming Side Note: I changed the final line because I have always wanted to rhyme in Spanish and this seemed a great time to try it.  The translation is, roughly, "This makes me foolish?" or "This makes a fool out of me?")

Smiley Sociology Study #11 - Gifts

Image by digitalart via freedigitalphotos.net

I find in December it's hard not to think about

gifts I loved and / or could have lived without,

items most likely to be re-gifted or returned,

and the silly things for which I once yearned.

So, I've made gifts the theme for this month's study

in hopes you have a story for me, your blog buddy.

Use the gift giving theme however you like...

perhaps share the memory of receiving your first bike?

You have the whole month to write something creative...

or perhaps you prefer to share something contemplative?

I'll use your posts next month for my inspiration

and share your links within a rhyming study summation.

Non rhyming directions for the poetry challenged:

(1) Create a new post about doors and windows or link to one that was already on your blog. Please note: your post does not need to be poetic or rhyming. All styles of blogs are welcome as long as their post is about doors and windows.

(2) Please include a link back to the Smiley Sociology Study within your post to help spread the word about the link exchange. The more "data" / posts I have to peruse, the better pseudo sociological results I can produce!

(3) copy the link for that post and paste link into Mister Linky below.
Please link directly to the post you want to share, not to your home page.
I will delete your link from the study if I cannot find a post about doors and windows to link to directly.

(4) leave a comment here to let me know you've posted a link

(5) read links left by others and tell them (nicely) what you think
